A long time ago (4th season?) they posted information about the cast members personal lives on the Ghost Hunter community forums. All of those cast members need some serious therapy. They can't blame success on their problems because they were apparently screwed up prior to the show as well.

ZeroCorpse:Anybody associated with these B.S. scam shows should feel bad.

Somewhere out there is someone who not only watched, but owns the DVDs of this show. Probably knows every episode by heart. I can't imagine how anyone can sit through more than one episode of these 'tards running around yelling "What was that!?"

LAME. Look if you do this (ghost hunting "professionally") and it's not as a joke or for kicks you have issues. If you have issues and you lose the attention you were getting you do things to draw attention.

There are plenty of people in the world who do something of value. Just cut away or hang yourself you attention whore douche.

But, yeah, Ghost Hunters was must-see for my wife and I, but we lost interest after a few seasons. A whole lot of nuthin most of the time, and the payoffs got less and less interesting.

Same here. We watched religiously for the first two or three years, then exactly like you said. They started never finding anything interesting. Which made me wonder if some of the stuff in the first few seasons were staged, because everything after that has been lame as hell. We quit watching totally.

I'd watch again if they had anything worth seeing. And I think Kris is yummy.

EngineerAtWork:I think the article said everything when they introduced him as an actor. These "real" ghost stories and "investigations" are nothing more poorly done dinner theater.

What's worse is that the popularity of the show served as validation for similar shows, further degrading the already poor quality of cable programming. He wasn't just a participant, he was a friggin' agent provocateur.

I hope his mental treatment involves making him a useful member of society again.

On the GH forums, they originally had a large community who tried to debunk for at least 3 seasons. The GH forum admins decided that was anti-GH and explicitly warned the forum members not to debunk the show and Sci-Fi sent lawyer letters to fan sites not to use any material from the show in any way. So many people continued to post to debunk items shown in the show that the show began to increase the background music so that when show members "heard" things, the viewers could not make out what was heard and had to take Jay's, etc., word on it. They changed camera angles so you could not initially see the "shadows" that the show members saw. Sy-Fy actually skewed the show's viewership age numbers for the show after that and only teens were left to watch the show. SyFy was happy because that the audience they were looking for at the time. I guess adults think too much.

//There were a lot of people trying to sell their DVDs in forums, but few had anyone interested enough.

My sister watches the shows, and pays good money to go to regional meets where second string cast members "check out" a local haunted place. I'm a good brother and nod my head at the various "mysterious" things that happen. Only thing that's happening is people are being fleeced.

Random thought: It always bugged me that when they were hunting ghosts, the camera was always focused on them. Then, when they claimed to see a ghost, the camera would whip around and be a split second too late to see anything. Weird.

I never understood the logic of using actual "cameramen" if you're going to produce a ghost hunting show. That means in every scene, you at least have +1 persons to account for that you cannot see (as the viewer), and thus can't, objectively, discern that "weird footstep sound over here" or "strange knock over there" is anything unexplained at all compared to "clutz camera guy taking a false step".
